-Updated 31 Aug 2005-



So here I am again. It's been a while hasn't it. My alto sax initially got a lot of use. Funny isn't it, how a fulltime job takes away all your spare time. Haven't had any time to poi too, apart from Jugglejam on Mondays and the monthly Moonfests. And even then, it somehow seems I tend to play with the stockwhip instead of poi shrug



Another lens has been added to the stable too. A Canon EF-S 10-22 3.5-4.5.. nice and wiide. But it all boils back down to that time issue. Despite having the new lens, I seem to find I'm out taking less pictures.. the folio hasn't been updated in a while, and I'm starting to get the horrible feeling I'm stagnating. Must. Get out of this rut.



If you're my muse and reading this, inspiration needed now. hug



-Edited 14 Dec 2005-



I liken this to opening the fridge to find that jar of misc what's it, several months expired ubblol. Hey how's it going? wave



So what's new! Well.. poi's getting a bit better for one thing. Nice how after poi-ing for a while, you stop hitting yourself senseless. In fact, one might argue how after a certain point, each hit puts more sense into you.. wink Haven't gone skating or rockclimbing in a bit, but that's ok- life's full of wonderful distractions, and really, you can only do a couple at a time.



University's just wrapped up! Yep. A degree in art & visual culture, television & digital media.. Just waiting for a piece of paper at the moment (yay!). And trying to sort out how Australia will let me live here forever and ever biggrin. Have I mentioned how wonderful it is, you so ought to visit *nudge* wink Also been getting out the with photography and stuff- a couple of projects to follow up on, blue skies and puffy clouds as far as I can see.



Updates updates. [insert geek] I've updated my camera gear too.. my 20D, 17-85 4-5.6 IS and 580EX now have a 70-200 2.8L IS to play with.. soon too, riding on getting a particular gig, either a 350D and a 24-105 f4 IS, or another 20D.. -grin- [/end geek]



[edit 14/12/05: Gig didn't go through, and ended up performing at it instead of shooting it ubblol Life has a funny way of messing you about doesn't it.. so no 2nd body for me just yet, or nice 24-105 f4 IS redface]



Been taking lots of photos lately. I think there's something intrinsically beautiful in capturing moments- you know how you look at a photo and it brings you back to where you were that day, who you were with, how the air smelt even.. Maybe one day I'll get to exhibit ubblove.. but yeah.. lots of work to be done meantime.



Hmmmm.. yes the world's beautiful today. It's good to have new toys, new moves, new direction.. old friends hug.. a best friend hug2, and enough distractions not to get bored for too long.



Btw.. favourite words haven't changed.. ubbrollsmile And mm.. I'm still not too close to balletic, and dulcet..



Hmm.. la la la laaa squawk.. footinmouth



[edit 14/12/05: I now have a beautiful alto saxophone- the best use of which I have thus far found, is to attract ducks and other misc waterfowl]



Yep, how about we say still aspiring. biggrin



Hope all's well with everyone- don't be strangers now! hug biggrin

I've been exploring this site a bit lately, and have decided everyone seems like a nice bunch- thought it's about time I said hello. Ryan, 24, born in Singapore, but Brisbane Australia has been home to me for the past 3 years.



I love photography, playing the guitar (if one took a picture of me with my guitar, it looks like I'm playing it- does that count?), getting from point A to B on my trusty mountain bike, inline skating and hockey, occasionally rockclimbing, and just being in good company. I'd also like to add poiing to the list when I stop hitting myself senseless.



Irrelevantly, my two favourite words (I've got heaps if anyone's interested) are 'balletic' and 'dulcet'. 'Balletic', unfortunately, isn't a word I'd use to describe anything I can do, and 'dulcet' is a word I haven't dreamt of aspiring towards yet.



Enough for now, don't be strangers! biggrin

Kris: Would love to come but have to check a few things first.. will let you know. A chance to spin after sounds good! Is Troy's birthday on the day?

Russ: It came back for a bit and now it's gone again. Majority of the past 6 months worth of photographs with the slr and the small camera, for work and snaps. It's a big source of worry at the moment.

Lou: Need more.. frown It's looking worse than before now..

Birg: Sorry to hear.. hug Get well soon!

Russ: If you're talking about the harddisk.. was trying to rebuild the partition table at Joel's in the hope of also somehow getting back the firewire functionality of the external casing..

If you're talking about summer.. ubblol Not looking forward to it anyway. Winter in Brisbane's the best time of year, possibly spring.. but if it was winter's a close second.

If you're talking about people in this thread.. ubblol My guess is as good as yours sir shrug..

The other option is Sunday night I'm planning to go to the Burleigh Heads (Gold Coast) spin? Going?

Or if not then just jugglejam on Monday night?

yeah, but this semester i *had* hoped to try a bit harder than last semester (ie: study rather than HoP and juggle)...too bad that plan went out the window frown

If I hadn't booked my flights, I'd go to Moonfest and try to squeeze myself an extension, but I've already booked my flight, and it's with Jetstar, so it's not changeable.

Beth: What Dave said.. Jetstar.. spank How much more does it cost to change anyway? Only about $40? Everything's changeable tongue

What about Burleigh?

Dave: Vicarious proxy lessons ubblol About pictures.. still reeling from the harddrive crash.. managed to back up a few shots during the hour or two the drive was back up working, so I'll send some if they're there. In the meantime Steph's asked for a few unedited ones which I managed to send. Sorry it's taking so long. Need to sort this out.

S'cool, I know how much of an arse it is when hard drives decide to eat themselves from within!

Steph's sent me copies of the ones you've already sent her.

I guess as a last resort I could come back and you could re-take the pics?! ubbangel
